A young man walks down the cold street at nightThough a dangerous place, he does not in slight careDeath would be welcome by this late stage of his youthAnything to free him of their harsh mocking staresWhy are you going, his parents asked himBe strong and live on, you can make it throughBut he would not hear them this time aroundHe had already decided what it was high time to do

Or so he thought, but it soon becomes clearFor death itself speaks with the gentlest of voiceWhy, boy, should you throw out futures untoldLook beyond hardship, you do have a choiceWhat choice can I make, is the boy’s sad replyWhen each time only lets them tell me I’m wrongWhen repeated tries beget repeated criesPlease, let me stop singing life’s sad song

No, kind death shakes its dark-hooded headLife’s not defined by mistakes that you makeYou don’t see it yet, but there will come a dayWhen there will be great things left in your wakeYou fail and fail, sure, but you keep trying onwardThe struggle of living s made of such stuffAs they laugh you off for what they call shortcomingsOne day you will show you are more than enough

Understand, boy, that though life is as hardAs the endless efforts that you will ever put inPushing on, reaching forward is where worth liesSomeday, should you live, you’ll call life your friendIt’s a mentor that makes you ever learn, evermoreSo learn on, it’s time you spoke in a different toneSo tonight, I’ll not let you choose what can’t be undoneAnd leave you, and hope next time you’ll choose on your own

The boy stands there dumbstruck, without argumentHe has no way of knowing what has happened insideHe turns around and walks back to the comfort of homeHe steps stiffly at first, soon in confidence stridesHe grows taller within, and his person changes afterFor he just faced his death with a despairing heartBut when death stares you down and tells you to liveThen all that’s left is for you is a brand new start.
